Pelican Kayak's

[Big dave]

Does anyone have any pictures of how to mount two 8'Lx28"W Pelican Kayak's on the roof of a 22' C-Dory ? Raven Dancer is a High top model.
I'm thinking of racks attached to the roof rails and putting the kayak's on their edge on the racks, but I'm open to any other ideas too.
Thanks for any help.
Big Dave.

I have the same question, except with Ocean Kayaks. I have Thule J racks for the car and I'm thinking I could get some similar ones fabricated out of aluminum for the boat. I still not exactly sure how they mount would work, so if anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know!

I've put 2 singles sea kayaks on the roof and even managed to get a double up there under the radar arch. I don't use the Thule kayak saddles but use a stainless rail mount with a 1" T welded onto it that fixes to the handrail on the roof. I run 1" stainless tubing through that with caps on either end. With kayaks I use the foam blocks over the stainless tubing. You can see pictures in my album.

Here's a pic of Sea Spray with his rack. Looks like you could carry two. I carry one up there from time to time, just use the foam blocks.
